Cirque Mechanics Boom Town
October 5, 2011

Cirque Mechanics Boom Town is a journey back in time to a place rich in adventure!  Be transported to the 1860’s small frontier town of Rosebud, where two ambitious saloon owners have set up shop in the hopes of cashing in on the town’s gold rush frenzy. The circus that ensues when they begin to feud for the townsfolk patronage leads to a series of explosive events, exciting brawls, an unexpected romance, and a lucrative discovery. It’s a place where breathtaking acrobatics and fantastic machinery meet. Inspired by early mining equipment and the spirit of adventure that brought prospectors and entrepreneurs alike out west searching for gold, Boom Town features innovative and one of a kind mechanical apparatus that serve both as scenery and performance prop. You will find performers climbing up swaying telegraph poles, dancing on a swinging chandelier, flying high and fast on a revolving crane, flipping and jumping on moving ore carts or balancing on whiskey jugs. A jaw-dropping stage spectacular perfect for audiences of all ages, Boom Town features world-class circus stars from Cirque du Soleil, the Moscow Circus, and the Pickle Family Circus in an evening full of lore, excitement, and the wonders of the Old West… You may be inspired to pick up your picks and pans, hop in an ore cart, and come along for the ride!
